How do you write a file?

I'm getting:

Quote:IOError: (22, "invalid mode ('w') or filename", 'special://profile/addon_data/my.addon/test.txt')

I'm using:

Code:
text_file = open('special://profile/addon/addon_data/my.addon/test.txt', "w+")

text_file.write("hello")

text_file.close()

you cannot use python fileio on vfs paths. pass the path through xbmc.translatePath() first.

Thanks, it's working now.
